“‘Double bubble’ causes toil, trouble in L.A. elections”

Following up on my LA Times oped yesterday, AP offers this report. On the question of the foreseeability of this problem, I noticed the following in this Sacramento Bee oped: “Worse, acting Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters Dean Logan told county supervisors that the county had used the same ‘double bubble’ design in 2004 and 2006. In those elections, only 40 percent of the county’s decline-to-state voters’ ballots were counted. It is outrageous that the county knew of this massive disenfranchisement and did not make changes. This calls for an investigation.” And Mike Alvarez saw the problem coming on Feb. 1.
